Liberty Leads 30-0, Holds Off Delaware's Late Rally 30-14
Delaware's two touchdowns came in the last 9:38. Before that it was 30-0 Liberty, and the rest was a late scoreboard fix. Liberty won 30-14.
It was Chase Reeves and Kam Davis for most of it. Reeves kicked field goals of 47 and 30 yards in the first quarter, Davis broke a 56-yard run in the second, and Peyton Jones ran in from three yards with 39 seconds left in the half to make it 20-0. Reeves added a 22-yarder in the third, and Davis scored again from five yards with 11:19 left in the game for 30-0.
Delaware finally got going after that. Braden Streeter threw a 58-yard touchdown pass to Donovan Lewis (the two-point pass failed), and Tyler Bell hit Matthew McKinley-Daniels from 27 yards with 1:35 left and ran in the two-point conversion. That made it 30-14, which is as close as the final looked.
Peyton Jones added nine carries for 37 yards and a score, and Makai Jackson led the Liberty receivers with five catches for 90 yards. Bryson Graves had three catches for 69 yards for Delaware. Liberty ran 47 times for 282 yards and threw for only 157, and did not turn the ball over. Delaware had more passing yards (257 to 157), threw an interception and lost a fumble, and managed only 102 yards on 25 carries. Liberty is 4-1. Delaware is 2-3.
Davis led the fantasy scoring with 26.7 Promethium points, and Lewis, who had been quiet all season, picked up 14.1 on two catches.
